Atleti look to keep positive streak going at demanding Benito Villamarín
Our team travels to Seville to face Real Betis with our minds set on earning three more points and keeping our positive streak going.
Atleti travels to Seville's Benito Villamarín stadium to face Real Betis on LaLiga's Matchday 22. The match is to be played on Sunday, Feb. 3 at 4.15 p.m. CET.
Diego Pablo Simeone's boys arrive following the 2-0 win against Getafe at the Wanda Metropolitano. The goals from Antoine Griezmann and Saúl Ñíguez gave us the three points on the day, making it a total of 44 for our team in LaLiga. We're currently second in the competition.
Betis sit 8th in the league standings. They're a tough side to beat, especially at their stadium, in which they've only lost three games so far. In their last match, though, they lost to Athletic Club 1-0 at San Mamés. In the last clash at the Benito Villamarín, they earned a 3-1 win against Espanyol, thus qualifying for the Copa del Rey semi-finals.
Atleti have only lost one of their 10 away games. Moreover, we are the LaLiga team who has lost the least amount of matches, as we are yet to lose at the Wanda Metropolitano. Betis so far have earned 29 points in the competition.
Since Simeone became our coach, we are yet to lose against the Seville side. Out of the 12 games in which we've faced Betis with the Argentine coach, we've earned nine wins and three draws. The last match between both sides at the Benito Villamarín, which was played in December 2017, ended in a 1-0 win for Atleti.
